Justin Meram in round 12 of the 2017 season and Lucas Zelarayán in the 2020 MLS Cup Final.

Here's a positional list of the top players according to my Helltown Player Rating System*. This system uses traditional stats ("box score") and mixes them with playing time and team position on the overall true table.

This system was created to help me get to the better players fast without wasting my time endlessly sorting tables. It works!
